LNF/DCF Summer 2024 Y5

LNF - Tudor stamps

As a group we worked together to solve what Tudor Kings, Queens and Wives would be as prices of stamps.

Sienna worked as group at first, but then worked on her own on the more challenging ones - well done Sienna!

LNF - Understanding Sonnets

Sonnets can be quite difficult to understand but we are already understanding a lot more by looking at the opening of "Romeo and Juliet" by working together as a group and exploring the language. We can now even talk about what we think are the rules for a Sonnet!

LNF - Capulets or Montagues?

A list of characters from Romeo and Juliet were given out and we had to sort them into Capulets, Montagues or neither.

LNF - Newspaper Reports

From our love of the balcony scene and with our genre this term being Newspaper reports, we decided to write a report on the baclony scene with two, mortal enemies falling in love.

First, we studied Newspaper to determine the main features of a report.

We colour coded each feature to make them easier to identify

Headlines

Next, we looked at headlines and had lots of fun making our own!

The 5 "W's"

We studied the 5 W's of Who? What? Why? Where? When? We used the scenario of the fire alarm test in school.

Writing and editing our report

Dosbarth Gwyn wrote their report in their books and edited it

DCF - using Adobe Express

We wanted to use Adobe Express to enhance our digital competency skills. It was quite a challenge for some to navigate the template and as a result some forgot the correct layout of a newspaper. However with perserverance we got there in the end! I am so proud of you all Dosbarth Gwyn!

MORE EXAMPLES

DCF - learning to code, SONY Bridgend

What an amazing time we had learning how to code using Scratch and Raspberry Pi. Not only that we had the chance to learn about Japanese culture too!

Watch this video to see how we coded using Scratch and Raspberry PI to make bulbs flash and light up in a sequence. We were pretty impressed with ourselves!

DCF - presentation on Verona

We had the opportunity to really showcase our ICT skills by using Google Slides to compile a presentation on the city of Verona.

LNF - to investigate the number of lines

We worked as a group to investigate the number of lines that can be used to join a different number of dots.

We started with 3 dots, then 4, 5 and 6 dots.

Sienna was then able to explain the rest of the class the reasoning for the answers.

"I felt so proud to be the only girl to volunteer. The work was challenging at first, but when we got to more dots I could see a bit of a pattern of drawing the regular polygons and the answers then became a bit easier." Sienna

LNF - Writing marriage vows for Romeo and Juliet

We wrote wedding vows between Romeo and Juliet.

Meadow - "At the beginning of this work I had no idea what to write but I'm glad I wrote what I did. To begin with I didn't know how to use Shakespearean language in it but I've learned a lot more and had the confidence to use it in my wedding vows. I'm very happy with my work!"
